policy events, such as 9/11 or the vietnam war, is foreign policy. and i think what's happened in the last 48 hours, and what might get worse in the middle east is going to raise the importance of foreign policy experience. barack obama had none when he ran in 08 and mccain had an advantage on that issue. republicans usually do. i think in this case this is working against mitt romney even if he hadn't made the mistake he made by jump too quickly. i don't think a foreign policy focus is to his advantage. obviously his campaign would agree with that, they want to stay focused on the economy. martha: lanny, you look at middle east and there is an argument to be made that the president has deteriorated our relationships there. you look at what is going on right now with israel, and you look at the question about whether or notee skweupt egyp whether or not egypt is an ally, not sure about that at the moment. what does this say about the romney campaign in some ways if there is an argument to be made that foreign policy should not necessarily be a strong
